S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!!!

Woohoo! It's Saturday and yes, I'm back!!! Hope your Saturday is shaping up well. Mine's being spent readying and then hosting a birthday party for The Boy and 25 of his closest 4- to 6-y-o friends and the accompanying parental units. For that kind of crowd I'm planning on some outdoor wet activities. Hey, at least it's only forecasted to be 103 degrees today. Yeehaw! But after last year's party with unsupervised hoodlums sweeties tearing through the kids' drawers and dumping out various games in the playroom, I'll take a little sweat outdoors for an hour rather than hours of it reassembling rooms later!!

But I digress. You're not here for my personal ramblings. So, tell us, Miss Heidi, what's up for grabs today for the AWESOME SKETCHY THURSDAYS GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION??!!!!

I told you yesterday that Unity Stamp Company was more than generous with donating for our little celebration.



You are not going to believe this one!! It's the newly released (like just 2 days ago released) single Declare Freedom.




This single is GORGEOUS!! And HUGE!! 3-1/2 x 5, mounted on Unity's signature wood slide.  This will make a beautiful embellishment on a patriotic layout or background for a card. The possibilities are endless.

So, let me remind you again how to win.

For all of the random draw giveaways up until 9/24:

All followers are automatically entered into every drawing (yeah!! we love our followers).

• Every post you comment on, you have a second entry into that drawing for that day.


• Want us to really love you?! Leave another comment telling us you talked about Sketchy Thursdays' prize of the day on a forum, your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and we'll count you again for that day.

• All winners for the prizes given away this week and next will be announced on 9/25.

You know the drill!  Go! Follow! Comment! Shout! PLAY ALONG!!!

And don't forget to keep coming back all week long for more amazing prizes up for grabs!

Have a great Saturday! (Wish me luck with the munchkins!)

—Heidi

P.S. Come play with us! That's the whole point of this challenge blog. This week's sketch:
